Floating Leaf

 

Metaphorically speaking I am a floating leaf

I feel

Floating carefree from the family tree

I live

Senior years are fading as I grow older

I win

The leaf represents me an my accomplishments                                 

 

The stem is my lifeline

The lines are varied interest

Unique shape

The different trails I have followed

I change

Color represents the changes I have endured

The floating

Symbolizes the time I have left to accomplish all I want to do

 

Before I reach my destiny

"This is the beginning of a new day.
You have been given this day to use
as you will. You can waste it or use it
for good. What you do today is important
because you are exchanging a day of
your life for it. When tomorrow comes,
this day will be gone forever; in its place
is something that you have left behind...
let it be something good."

" Life as I see it."...mussie

 

 

    

 

     I miss you when something really good happens, because you're the one I want to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me, because you're the only one who understands me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry, because I know that you're the one who makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear. I miss you all the time, but I miss you the most when I lie awake at night and think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other for those were some of the best memorable times of my life.

 "To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive - to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before." -- Rollo May

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree.

–Emily Brontë (1818–48)

  “Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.”

 

 

 

 

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
and never stops at all.

-Emily Dickinson

When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from this very violent motion, and is called love.

- Socrates

The universe is so large because a man had to have a place to put his ego and a woman her shoes....

Once the curtain is raised, the actor is ceases to belong to himself. He belongs to his character, to his author, to his public. He must do the impossible to identify himself with the first, not to betray the second, and not to disappoint the third.
Sarah Bernhardt

We Geminis are a curious lot and always on the go

We analyze and criticize while following our natural flow

 

Our childish personality is evident, that's why we like to play

The imagination is unlimited and leads our mind astray

 

Flitting from project to project, restless as a butterfly in May

We like intrigue, and excitement of the chase until we catch our prey

 

We are the chameleons of the zodiac and reflect every change

Our versatility makes us adaptable, situations we rearrange

 

Being attracted to the philosophical and the intellect of the mind

The Sagittarius holds our interest being loving and kind

 

Emotional and loving, excitement and variety we crave

Life with a Gemini is never dull, for a partner who is patient and brave

Find the person who will love you because of your differences and
not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.

Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile,
And finds in your presence that life is worth while,

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined... to strengthen each other... to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
